I've got the 20IR and it is legit. Sounds so good and I can run my headphones or monitors straight out of the headphone jack on the amp and it sounds just like the cab in the room. I've never played anything that sounded the same through headphones or monitors as it does in the room.

I've got the Tonex software and it doesn't sound all that great but there is an input level issue that is known. Does the hardware pedal eliminate this factor?
I remember in the late 80s it seemed like a new, great, hair metal album was dropping every week. Those were the days.. wish I knew how to play back then... but no internet to teach me. It wasn't until about 2000 when I started seeing tutorials and thinking.. that doesn't look too hard.
I just got the 20IR and Ecstasy and it sounds great but the module has a flaw where the switches and gain on one channel, effect the other channel so it is not working for me as a 2 channel amp and I'm sending it back. I don't think any others have this issue. If you keep the gain similar it...
